DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model will be further explained in combination with the drawings and examples. EXAMPLE

[0023] As Figure 1As shown, a high-efficiency and energy-saving compressor system includes a primary compressor and a secondary compressor. The primary compressor is an oil-free air compressor 1, and the secondary compressor is a steam compressor 28. It also includes a primary heat exchanger 2, which has a first heat source channel 3 and a first medium channel 4. The cold end 6 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is used to input room temperature water. The hot end 8 of the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is connected to the exhaust port 5 of the oil-free air compressor 1 and is used to input the energy-storing exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust port of the oil-free air compressor 1. The cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is used to output the energy-storing exhaust gas after heat exchange and cooling. The hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is connected to the steam compressor 28 and is used to output saturated steam after heat exchange and heating. The oil-free air compressor 1, the primary heat exchanger 2, and the steam compressor 28 can be constructed using existing technologies.

[0024] This embodiment of the high-efficiency and energy-saving compressor system combines an oil-free air compressor 1 with a steam compressor 28. A heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between the high-temperature, high-pressure gas discharged from the oil-free air compressor 1 and low-temperature room-temperature water, thereby obtaining saturated steam for the steam compressor 28. Therefore, the heat generated during the compression process of the oil-free air compressor 1 is not directly discharged, but is converted into high-temperature steam required by the steam compressor 28 using the first heat exchanger. This achieves the recovery and utilization of the heat energy of the oil-free air compressor 1, improving energy utilization efficiency and offering the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving. Secondly, it not only saves on the cooling system of the oil-free air compressor 1, but also solves the problem of excessively high exhaust temperature during the compression process, increasing the machine's service life and reducing production and operating costs. Thirdly, by using heat exchange instead of traditional electric heating to obtain high-temperature saturated steam, production and operating costs are further reduced, economic benefits are improved, and it is more efficient and energy-saving.

[0025] The working principle of the high-efficiency and energy-saving compressor system in this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] When the oil-free air compressor 1 is working, high-temperature and high-pressure energy storage exhaust is generated at the exhaust port 5. The energy storage exhaust is input into the first heat source channel 3 of the first-stage heat exchanger 2, and room temperature water is input into the first medium channel 4 of the first-stage heat exchanger 2. The room temperature water in the first medium channel 4 exchanges heat with the high-temperature energy storage exhaust in the first heat source channel 3. The energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and cooling is output from the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3, and the saturated water vapor after heat exchange is output from the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the first-stage heat exchanger 2. The saturated water vapor is supplied to the steam compressor 28 for use. Example

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, except that the following technical features are added:

[0028] The secondary heat exchanger 10 is provided with a second heat source channel 11 and a second medium channel 12. The cold end 13 of the second medium channel 12 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 is used for inputting the air at normal temperature. The hot end 15 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 is connected with the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2, and is used for inputting the energy storage exhaust gas after the primary heat exchange in the primary heat exchanger 2. The cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 is used for outputting the energy storage exhaust gas after the secondary heat exchange in the secondary heat exchanger 10. The hot end 14 of the second medium channel 12 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 is connected with the air inlet 17 of the oil-free air compressor 1, and is used for outputting the air after the heat exchange in the secondary heat exchanger 10. The secondary heat exchanger 10 can be achieved by using the existing technology. After the energy storage exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust end of the oil-free air compressor 1 is heated to become the saturated water vapor, there is still excess heat. The excess heat is introduced into the secondary heat exchanger 10 to further heat the air of the oil-free air compressor 1. The heat is not wasted, but the waste heat is stored on the compressed gas again with the air and is returned to the primary heat exchanger 2 again. The heat generated by the oil-free air compressor 1 is recycled in the system, the energy utilization rate is high, and more sufficient saturated water vapor can be obtained.

[0029] The working principle of the high-efficiency energy-saving compressor system of the embodiment is as follows:

[0030] When the oil-free air compressor 1 works, the high-temperature and high-pressure energy storage exhaust gas is generated at the exhaust port 5 and is input into the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2. The water at normal temperature is input into the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2. The water at normal temperature in the first medium channel 4 exchanges heat with the high-temperature energy storage exhaust gas in the first heat source channel 3. The energy storage exhaust gas after the heat exchange and the temperature reduction is output from the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3. The saturated water vapor after the heat exchange is output from the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2, and is provided for the steam compressor 28. In order to fully utilize the waste heat of the energy storage exhaust gas after the heat exchange and the temperature reduction, the energy storage exhaust gas after the heat exchange and the temperature reduction is further input into the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10, and exchanges heat with the air at normal temperature in the second medium channel 12 of the secondary heat exchanger 10. The waste heat is stored on the compressed gas again with the air. At the same time, the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 outputs the energy storage exhaust gas after the further heat exchange and the temperature reduction. At this time, the heat stored in the energy storage exhaust gas has been mostly replaced by the water at normal temperature in the primary heat exchanger 2 and the air at normal temperature in the secondary heat exchanger 10, and the heat loss is very small. Embodiment

[0031] As Figure 3As shown, an efficient and energy-saving compressor system includes a primary compressor and a secondary compressor, the primary compressor is a water-injected oil-free air compressor 1, the secondary compressor is a steam compressor 28, and the system further includes a primary heat exchanger 2, the primary heat exchanger 2 is provided with a first heat source channel 3 and a first medium channel 4, the cold end 6 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is used for inputting normal temperature water, the hot end 8 of the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is connected with the exhaust port 5 of the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1, and is used for inputting energy storage exhaust discharged from the exhaust end of the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1, the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is used for outputting energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and cooling, and the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is connected with the steam compressor 28, and is used for outputting saturated water vapor after heat exchange and heating.

[0032] The efficient and energy-saving compressor system of the embodiment combines the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 with the steam compressor 28, and uses the heat exchanger to make the high-temperature and high-pressure gas discharged from the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 exchange heat with the low-temperature normal temperature water, so as to obtain saturated water vapor for the steam compressor 28; therefore, the heat generated in the compression process of the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 is not directly discharged, but is converted into high-temperature water vapor required by the steam compressor 28 by using the first heat exchanger, the heat energy of the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 is recycled and utilized, the energy utilization rate is improved, and the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving are achieved; secondly, not only the cooling system of the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 is saved, but also the problem of excessively high exhaust temperature in the compression process of the water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 is solved, the service life of the machine is improved, and the production and use costs are reduced; thirdly, the high-temperature saturated water vapor is obtained by replacing the traditional electric heating mode with the heat exchange mode, the production and use costs are further reduced, the economic benefits are improved, and the system is more efficient and energy-saving.

[0033] The second heat exchanger 10 is provided with a second heat source channel 11 and a second medium channel 12, the cold end 13 of the second medium channel 12 of the second heat exchanger 10 is used for inputting the air at normal temperature, the hot end 15 of the second heat source channel 11 of the second heat exchanger 10 is communicated with the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3 of the first heat exchanger 2, and is used for inputting the energy storage exhaust gas after the primary heat exchange of the first heat exchanger 2, the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the second heat exchanger 10 is used for outputting the energy storage exhaust gas after the secondary heat exchange of the second heat exchanger 10, and the hot end 14 of the second medium channel 12 of the second heat exchanger 10 is communicated with the air inlet 17 of the water injection type oil-free air compressor 1, and is used for outputting the air after the heat exchange of the second heat exchanger 10. Since the energy storage exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust end of the water injection type oil-free air compressor 1 may still have excess heat after heating the water into saturated water vapor, the excess heat is introduced into the second heat exchanger 10 again to heat the air of the water injection type oil-free air compressor 1, so that the heat is not wasted, and the waste heat is stored on the compressed gas again with the air and returns to the first heat exchanger 2, so that the heat generated by the water injection type oil-free air compressor 1 can be recycled in the system, the energy utilization rate is high, and more sufficient saturated water vapor can be obtained.

[0034] The water vapor separation assembly 18 is further provided with a water vapor mixture inlet 19, a liquid outlet 20 and a gas outlet 21, the water vapor mixture inlet 19 of the water vapor separation assembly 18 is communicated with the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the second heat exchanger 10, and is used for separating the water vapor mixture discharged from the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 to obtain pure high-pressure gas and filtered water; the water vapor separation assembly 18 can be obtained by using the prior art. The water injection type oil-free air compressor 1 is used to mix the compressed gas and the water into a water vapor mixture, and the specific heat capacity of the water vapor mixture is higher than that of the pure gas, so that the water injection type oil-free air compressor 1 can operate at a high pressure ratio and can overcome the harm of high exhaust gas temperature to the machine; since the water injection type oil-free air compressor 1 generates a water vapor mixture, the pure high-pressure gas and the filtered water can be separated after passing through the water vapor separation assembly 18.

[0035] The working principle of the high-efficiency energy-saving compressor system of the embodiment is as follows:

[0036] When the water-spray type oil-free air compressor 1 is working, high-temperature and high-pressure energy storage exhaust is generated at the exhaust port 5. This energy storage exhaust is a water-vapor mixture. The energy storage exhaust is input into the first heat source channel 3 of the first-stage heat exchanger 2, and room-temperature water is input into the first medium channel 4 of the first-stage heat exchanger 2. The room-temperature water in the first medium channel 4 exchanges heat with the high-temperature energy storage exhaust in the first heat source channel 3. The energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and cooling is output from the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3, and saturated water vapor after heat exchange is output from the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the first-stage heat exchanger 2. The saturated water vapor is supplied to the steam compressor 28. In order to make full use of the waste heat of the energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and cooling, the energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and cooling is further output... The gas enters the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 and exchanges heat with the ambient temperature intake gas in the second medium channel 12 of the secondary heat exchanger 10. The residual heat is stored in the compressed gas again along with the intake gas. At the same time, the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 outputs the energy storage exhaust gas after further heat exchange and cooling. At this time, most of the heat stored in the energy storage exhaust gas has been replaced by the ambient temperature water in the first heat exchanger 2 and the ambient temperature air in the secondary heat exchanger 10, and the heat loss is very small. Since the energy storage exhaust gas is a water vapor mixture, the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 is also connected to the water vapor separation component 18 to separate the energy storage exhaust gas into pure high-pressure gas and filtered water. Example

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 3, except that the following technical features are added:

[0038] It also includes a steam chamber 24 connecting the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2 and the steam compressor 28. The steam chamber 24 is equipped with a temperature detection component 25 and an auxiliary heating component 26. The liquid outlet 20 of the water vapor separation component 18 is connected to the steam chamber 24. The temperature detection component 25 and the auxiliary heating component 26 can be based on existing technology. This setup not only allows the steam chamber 24 to store saturated water vapor for use by the steam compressor 28, but also allows for further heating by the auxiliary heating component 26 in the steam chamber 24 when the temperature of the stored exhaust is insufficient to heat ordinary water to form saturated water vapor. The generation of saturated water vapor still mainly relies on the heat generated during the compression process of the water-spraying oil-free air compressor 1. The auxiliary heating component 26 only heats the water when the temperature detection component 25 detects that the temperature is insufficient, thus maintaining the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving, and also increasing the output of water vapor. In addition, the water in the water-spraying oil-free air compressor 1 can be recovered and added to the steam chamber 24 for heating to generate saturated water vapor, realizing the recycling of energy and further increasing the output of saturated water vapor.

[0039] The working principle of the high-efficiency and energy-saving compressor system in this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] The water-injected oil-free air compressor 1 works, and high-temperature and high-pressure energy storage exhaust is generated at the exhaust port 5. The energy storage exhaust is a water vapor mixture, and the energy storage exhaust is input into the first heat source channel 3 of the primary heat exchanger 2. The normal-temperature water is input into the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2. The normal-temperature water in the first medium channel 4 exchanges heat with the high-temperature energy storage exhaust in the first heat source channel 3. The energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and temperature reduction is output from the cold end 9 of the first heat source channel 3. The saturated water vapor after heat exchange is output from the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2. The saturated water vapor is provided for the steam compressor 28. In order to fully utilize the waste heat of the energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and temperature reduction, the energy storage exhaust after heat exchange and temperature reduction is further input into the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10, and exchanges heat with the normal-temperature intake air in the second medium channel 12 of the secondary heat exchanger 10. The waste heat is stored on the compressed gas again with the intake air. At the same time, the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 outputs the energy storage exhaust after further heat exchange and temperature reduction. At this time, the heat stored in the energy storage exhaust has been mostly replaced by the normal-temperature water in the primary heat exchanger 2 and the normal-temperature air in the secondary heat exchanger 10, and the heat loss is very small. Since the energy storage exhaust is a water vapor mixture, the cold end 16 of the second heat source channel 11 of the secondary heat exchanger 10 is connected to the water vapor separation assembly 18 to separate the energy storage exhaust into pure high-pressure gas and filtered water. The water separated by the water vapor separation assembly 18 is also input into the steam chamber 24 for reuse. When the temperature of the energy storage exhaust is too low to heat ordinary water to form saturated water vapor, the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 can only produce hot water. At this time, the hot water produced by the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 is input into the steam chamber 24. The temperature detection assembly 25 in the steam chamber 24 will detect that the temperature is too low, and the auxiliary heating assembly 26 will work to heat the hot water into saturated water vapor. When the temperature of the energy storage exhaust can heat ordinary water to form saturated water vapor, the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 produces saturated water vapor. At this time, the saturated water vapor produced by the hot end 7 of the first medium channel 4 is input into the steam chamber 24 for storage, and the auxiliary heating assembly 26 does not work. Embodiment

[0041] As shown in Figure 5 , the other structures of the embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment Four, and the difference lies in that the following technical features are further added:

[0042] The cold end 6 of the first medium channel 4 of the primary heat exchanger 2 is further provided with a booster pump 27 for inputting normal-temperature water after pressure increase. The booster pump 27 can be of the prior art. Under normal circumstances, normal-temperature water can be heated to 100℃ saturated water vapor at most without positive pressure. However, after the water pressure is increased by the booster pump 27, saturated water vapor with a temperature higher than 100℃ can be obtained.

[0043] Any technical features in the above embodiments can be combined, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described above, however, any combination of the technical features is deemed to be within the scope of the present specification.

[0044] The above merely shows the preferred embodiments of the present application, and of course cannot limit the scope of the present application, therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application are still within the scope of the present application.
